Allegiant Stadium and the NFL's arrival in Las Vegas

Allegiant Stadium opened in July 2020 and serves as the home stadium for the Las Vegas Raiders, who relocated from Oakland for the 2020 NFL season. The stadium is a major new sports and entertainment venue for the Las Vegas area and marked the return of an NFL franchise to the region for the first time since the 1980s. Its construction and the Raiders' move have been central topics in local discussions about Las Vegas' growth as a national sports market.
